Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological attendance and recording during groundworks was undertaken at Avenue D and Avenue E, Sneinton Market, Nottingham in July 2018 and May 2019. The work over the two months observed the excavation of 5 test pits and 10 boreholes within an area of proposed redevelopment on the north-east side of the market. Extensive areas of made ground containing brick, tile and glass were recorded down to at least 4.5m below ground level towards the south-eastern part of the site. Natural sandstone bedrock was seen beneath the layers of made ground at around 3.5m below ground level towards the north-west of the site. The layers of made ground may represent demolition layers from earlier developments or possibly landscaping works to create a level site for the market. No archaeological features were observed during the work. |
